They think that they are covering for their mistakes but really they are digging their hole even deeper.
House Speaker Dennis Hastert, asked about rebuilding New Orleans, volunteered: "It doesn't make sense to me." He elaborated: "I think federal insurance and everything that goes along with it ... we ought to take a second look at that."
Translation: Fuck'em they should not live there, and they shouldn't be so damn poor!
Bush declared, "I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees."
There are reams of information going back decades that describes just that scenario and that goes into minute detail as to what the human and monetary costs might be.
On Sept. 3, the Washington Post, citing an anonymous "senior administration official," reported that Blanco "still had not declared a state of emergency." Newsweek published a similar report. Within hours, however, the Post published a correction; the report was false. In fact, Blanco had declared an emergency on Aug. 26 and sent President Bush a letter on Aug. 27 requesting that the federal government declare an emergency and provide aid; and, in fact, Bush did make such a declaration, thereby accepting responsibility.
Don't you hate it when facts get in the way of your bold face lies?
The president's mother, Barbara Bush, interviewed on American Public Media's "Marketplace" program," said of the displaced from Louisiana who are temporarily housed in Houston's Astrodome, "What I'm hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this -- this is working very well for them."
This must be where George gets his famous compassion from. She is quite a humanitarian.
And Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., suggested that the residents of New Orleans who failed to escape the flood should be punished. "I mean, you have people who don't heed those warnings and then put people at risk as a result of not heeding those warnings. There may be a need to look at tougher penalties on those who decide to ride it out and understand that there are consequences to not leaving."
This comment angers me so much that I can't even make a joke about it.
After a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Bush warned against the "blame game" as he pointed his finger: "Bureaucracy is not going to stand in the way of getting the job done for the people." His aides briefed reporters on background that "bureaucracy" of course referred to state and local officials. That night, at the White House, Bush met with congressional leaders of both parties, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi urged Bush to fire Brown. "Why would I do that?" the president replied. "Because of all that went wrong, of all that didn't go right last week," she explained. To which he answered, "What didn't go right?"
Keith Olbermann said that it appeared that this administration did not occupy the same reality as the rest of us. There might be something to that. They do not seem to feel anything! They are completely disconnected from human suffering and it shows in every policy that they adopt.
These people are soulless pigs. They should never have been elected to public office and I hope, for the sake of this country, that none of them ever see re-election again.
